VIDEOIt is apparently very easy to get President Kamala Harris to laugh since any sentient being could have seen this "joke" coming for months.

Do federal law and the U.S. Constitution prohibit states from enacting commonsense voting requirements designed to protect the integrity of the electoral process, apply to everyone, and impose no significant burden? The Supreme Court tackled this question several weeks ago when it heard oral arguments in a case entitled Brnovich v. Democrat National Committee. Democrats are challenging the legality of two measures used by Arizona to ensure a free and fair electoral process. The first, known as the “out of precinct policy” requires individuals who vote in-person to cast their respective ballots in their designated election location. The second policy...

As one of his first acts as president, Joe Biden stopped border wall construction and froze the billions Congress allocated for that purpose. Now, according to Politico, Biden is “under investigation” by the Government Accountability Office to “determine whether the new president broke the law by freezing the money in violation of budget rules designed to keep Congress in control of the cash flow.”Biden under investigation for border wall cash freeze https://t.co/PRDDxXqTIS— POLITICO Pro (@POLITICOPro) March 23, 2021In a letter to the GAO last week, dozens of Republican senators said that “operational control of our southern border was compromised and...

As part of their recently proposed 10-year strategic plan to return to financial solvency, the United States Postal Service has outlined their intent to slow down delivery standards and raise prices. The current standard for first-class mailings is a maximum of three days. Under the recent proposal, that number would extend to a maximum delivery time of five days. Postal officials said that a majority of their first-class business would continue arriving within three days even with the proposed extension. USPS Postmaster General Louis DeJoy said that without these changes, the service would require another "government bailout." Over the course...

Media can't have it both ways: Either Biden's fine, and thus poking fun at a presidential fall is a time-honored tradition. Or he's not well and it's not funny, and we have to deal with the national security implications. ...snip... Biden Didn’t Fall in a VacuumWhich gets to the real issue: If Joe Biden is as fit as a fiddle then nobody should have any problem with light being made of the fall.However, Biden is clearly not well. Biden’s fall did not come in a vacuum. It came one day after he had again referred to the Vice President as...

The Justice Department has informed current and former FBI officials sued by Russia probe target Carter Page that it is unlikely to represent them in the civil case, signaling they will need to get private lawyers, according to new court filings. At least two defendants — fired FBI Director James Comey and current FBI intelligence analyst Brian Auten — have already hired private counsel and notified the presiding judge in the case of their representation. Ordinarily, DOJ represents its employees sued by civilians over their official duties. But court records show the Justice Department has not committed to doing so...

A new survey has found that for the first time, a majority of Republicans support same-sex marriage. As part of its annual American Values Atlas, the Public Religion Research Institute released a report Thursday finding broad support for pro-LGBT policies in the United States spanning across partisan, ethnic and religious lines. The results of the survey match findings of other studies showing rising support for such policies. Overall, 67% of Americans support same-sex marriage. Support for allowing same-sex couples to marry is highest among Democrats (76%) and independents (72%). Notably, 51% of Republicans, who are seen as the party committed...

A mountainous, 2,600-square-mile region with a population of approximately 119,600 does not seem like your prototypical setting for machine politics. Yet a recent audit of mail-in ballots cast there found irregularities characteristic of larger urban centers — on a level that could have easily swung local elections in 2020, and statewide elections in cycles past. The Biden administration, the Democrat-controlled Congress, and the Democratic National Committee are collectively pressing to both nationalize, and make permanent, many of the extraordinary pandemic-driven voting measures implemented during the 2020 election —particularly mass mail-in voting. Political leaders and prominent media outlets have dismissed concerns...

FBI Knew About the Boulder Shooter But Failed to Stop Him By Leisa Audette | Mar 23, 2021 Where was the FBI? It turns out that the Colorado grocery store shooter Ahmad Alissa was known to the FBI and had ranted online about “racist islamophobes” hacking his phone. The FBI failed to stop another shooting where they knew the gunman but weren’t watching him as he purchased a gun six days ago. The New York Times reports that he was known to the FBI because he was linked to another person who has been under investigation for something else. His...

The White headmaster of a Catholic school on Long Island has been placed on leave following reports that he had a Black student kneel in apology last month, calling it "the African way" to apologize. The headmaster was temporarily removed from his job at St. Martin de Porres School in Hempstead, New York, after parent Trisha Paul went to the local press regarding her 11-year-old son's treatment at the school.

Prince Harry has announced another new job today - his second in 48 hours - as a celebrity commissioner for an American study into the 'avalanche of misinformation' in the digital world funded by a controversial billionaire blamed for wiping out newspapers. The Duke of Sussex is joining the left-leaning Aspen Institute's new Commission on Information Disorder in Washington DC along with 14 others including Kathryn Murdoch, the wife of Rupert Murdoch's son James, who resigned from his father's media empire last year. The Aspen Institute is one of America's best known, and best funded think tanks, drawing cash from...

<p>Nikolai Petrovsky was scrolling through social media after a day on the ski slopes when reports describing a mysterious cluster of pneumonia cases in Wuhan, China, caught his eye. It was early January 2020, and Petrovsky, an immunologist, was at his vacation getaway in Keystone, Colorado, which is where he goes most years with his family to flee the searingly hot summers at home in South Australia.</p>

MADISON, WI — State and federal lawmakers are demanding answers from Gov. Tony Evers’ administration about its alarming undercount of COVID-19 deaths at Wisconsin’s nursing homes. Last week, reports surfaced that the Evers’ Department of Health Services failed to adequately count nearly 1,000 COVID deaths among long-term care residents, the most vulnerable population. DHS for months had reported 26 percent of nursing home residents died from the virus, but over the past couple of weeks the agency quietly raised the death rate to 45 percent. The revised numbers followed questions about the Evers administration’s failure to fully vaccinate residents in...

Just found this spoof of Goodfellas describing today's Rat Party perfectly. Caution: Adult Language

There is no Biden administration. Officially, it’s the Biden-Harris administration, and federal agencies have been instructed to include Kamala Harris’s name in a directive sent to all federal agencies from “a top White House communications team member.”“Please be sure to reference the current administration as the ‘Biden-Harris Administration’ in official public communications,” read the directive, which was provided to Outspoken by “an employee of a federal government agency.”And yes, “Biden-Harris Administration” was in bold in the email.According to Outspoken,The highly specific language also appears on the websites of all 15 executive departments. Press releases and other communications from the Departments...

ATF Leadership 2020 Acting Director Regina Lombardo & Associate Deputy Director Marvin Richardson Guidance on what constitutes “stabilizing braces” was published by the ATF on 18 December 2020. The guidance seemed less than objective, with a “we will know it when we see it” quality.Back on December 23rd, of 2020 in a dramatic reversal, the deputy director of the ATF Marvin RIchardson, signed a withdrawal of the guidance, only five days after the guidance was published. The guidance was withdrawn pending further Department of Justice review. Here is the concluding paragraph from atf.gov’s document: Upon further consultation with the Department...

As a lecturer in the humanities I have had the privilege and challenge of moderating discussions of controversial topics, often based on literary texts. Over the past two years, the number of students self-censoring or not speaking when a topic is seen as “not for them” has increased dramatically. Instead, many of them visit during office hours or write in course feedback to express their concerns about their ability to engage in their own education. In most of these cases, these students are male. During a class on Simone de Beauvoir’s The Second Sex, for example, the discussion moved away...

A veteran Democratic operative intricately involved in Green Bay’s November election was given access to “hidden” identifiers for the internet network at the hotel convention center where ballots were counted, according to emails obtained by Wisconsin Spotlight. Green Bay city officials insist the presidential election was “administered exclusively by city staff.” But the emails show that Michael Spitzer-Rubenstein, Wisconsin state lead for the National Vote at Home Institute, had a troubling amount of contact with election administration Nov. 4. “I’ll have my team create two separate SSID’s for you,” Trent Jameson, director of event technology at Green Bay’s Hyatt Regency...
